Description


Was digging through some boxes of old photos the other night and ran across this one I took in the summer of 1977 of my younger brother. Jimmy was about 11 years old at the time. The picture was taken with a Konica I had gotten a week or so before as an eighth grade graduation present and a roll of Kodak 35 mm black and white that my dad used to buy in bulk canisters and roll himself; photo was taken just outside the Carson Pirie Scott store in Lincoln Mall, located in Matteson Illinois about 30-35 miles south of Chicago. Jimmy died from a sudden illness a couple of years ago, about six months shy of his 40th birthday. There's hardly a day goes by that I don't think about him. Seeing this picture again reminds me of a period in my life that seemed so golden at the time, and even moreso now...

I am sorry for your loss of a loved one... it must be so hard, and I know EXACTLY what you mean by not letting a minute of a day go by without having that special person pass through your mind.... it must have been so special for you to come across this photograph.... He seemed so inquisitive, a great happiness within his eyes is revealed in this image. Thank you for sharing this treasure with us.... very special indeed. I guess this is a reminder to each and every one of us to treasure the here and now... since at times we may not see it as a wonderful time until a few years down the road.. beautiful tribute and memory!

Wonderful image.... It has a very timeless look and feel to it as if it could have been taken way back in the 40's The best thing bout photos is it keeps our loveone alive not only in our hearts but the hearts of our friends who may have never knew them Bravo
